yeh crackin photos, the Modrapheniacs, always loving to add their club name onto their scoots...one of the few scooter clubs that can truthfully put their hands on their hearts and say they have ran continuous from formation....

For some reason that always annoys me, such as a certain scooter club on the west coast of England which goes by the name of a ska label kidding on the club has run since 1968...

you are really doing a keen job on the research Charlie. hey check out the Beto-Man's segment on the East LA Revue. It's Elvis Birthday January 8 and Beto-Man is doing a special tribute show. It's pretty good. Beto-Man is one of our Blind DJs and he loves Elvis. I went record hunting and found two by the Stones in mint condition $12 (US) for the both. 12 x 5 and Decembers Children albums. talk soon Charlie. Mods Rule!!

Stevie I'm having a few internet problems but I should have a few posted shortly, the problem is, I keep remembering things and have to write them down to add them too the story.

I'm so lucky that I never had one of those flat tops, at least I know I won't cringe at the prospect of one turning up !!! Even saw another photo of Jimmy as a Mod, I think that takes it up to TWO

Best things come to those who wait.

Brilliant photo's Stevie, really takes you back to more care free times.
I remember a crowd of Renfrew mods heading to a Dunbar Rally, i'm sure it was before '84, i was only about 14. The Rally was a disaster,mods fighting with each other and loads of stealing from each others scooters and i'm sure it poured all day. Then we got chased all the way over the Erskine bridge and into Erskine by some gang, not a good day.

i'm sure you must also know Gordon 'Waggy' Wagstaff from Craigend, Charlie - last time i heard from him he was running a retro clothes shop in Glasgow - but that was probably 20 years ago - time sure flies!.

I think just about everything that came out of the Sarry Heid in those days was slops Stevie. But despite that it was a great laugh going in, with all the wino's fighting with each other.

We used to go in there all the time before going to a gig in the Barrowlands and it was always great crack. All the wino's were ex-boxers according to themselves.

Ah the famous "Sarry Heid Shammy" bought by the gallon, should be a famous land mark, the Jakeys "Bollinger!" I vaguely recall sharing 2 gallons of it along with Sheeny, Big Jason and a host of blurs, to "wet the babies heid!" when my son Douglas came home from Hospital, I was in Queenslie, woke up snoozing in The Band Stand, face down in a kebab and a slice of cheese and tomato pizza with Branston Pickle, in my Parka pocket! The thing that amazed me, my wages were still in my pockets!! Honest Jakeys then, and that is Gospel, no ponces or Fagin's I see around there now, "the times they are a changin'!" as Mr D. sang!

Yes, in the vernacular it was 'doh- doh' as in dead as a dodo.

Ah, the Sarie Heid - glasgow's finest winery. i remember the famous 'shammy' which i think was a fine cocktail of cider slops, then there was 'white tornado' - again, more slops.

Re: Glasgow Mods - Stevie Fae Cranhill Hughes

Chris C — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 03:33:52 -0000

I do remember these pills. But did it not sound more like Doh doh than do do. I think the latter was probably a police song. I think everyone tried all sorts of garbage hoping it would be an upper rather than a downer, but sometimes only succeeded in knocking ourselves out.

Meths and milk, and Bel air hair lacquer and milk was a drink of choice for the jakeys when I used to work in the Parks department down at the Forth and Clyde canal. I'm sure they used to pay a wee bit more for a vintage bottle of Bel Air.

We used to buy a gallon of Shammy from the Sarry Heid and mix it with a bottle of Old English wine. (between 3) One night we met a few of the girls down at the chess board and they also gave us three cans of Carlsberg. It was the most drunk I ever was going up to the Scene club. I always remember lying crashed out on the bench next to the girls toilets and the whole place was spinning like being on the waltzers. One of my other mates was so pissed that he didn't make it up at all.
